[quote=Anonymous]My son was similar in middle and high school. I gave up "pushing" him after tenth grade and decided it was fine whether he went to college or did a trade. He indicated an interest after his senior year, so I steered him to the local community college. I knew he would benefit from the smaller classes and teachers/professors whose priority is solely to teach (not do research and secure tenure). He transferred to the state university after CC and lived in a quad. He ended up majoring in Computer Science. Somehow he figured out how to motivate himself to study and start assignments early enough to complete them by the due date. He got two years of the "college experience" in the quad, which was on the edge of the campus. Mostly I think he just enjoyed living independently and not under his parent's roof.[/quote]
